We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer JANE AO about their original and creative Dining Space design work. JANE AO is an award-winning architectural designer, that makes our world a better place with their original dining space works.
JANE AO ("JA") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work love tea Dining Space. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
JA : The principle behind my design is that people. The information we want to pass in this space, and the information that people who enter this space actually feel. I think the principle of design is the rational use of space and the understanding of the information to be transmitted by space under the designer's experience.
JA : Because the entire design is interspersed with Chinese elements, in the absence of landscapes, mountains and rivers appear in the space.Therefore, we are focusing on the use of lighting and different materials in the same space and the consideration of his entire moving line.
JA : Winning this award is the industry's biggest affirmation of my design. In the future, i hope to realize more design ideas. Thanks to the organizer for giving me such an affirmative award.
JA : The overall concept did not take long in the design phase. Because I have a lot of communication with the client. So this concept has enough information when I set it. The whole concept was put forward within two days.
JA : The setting of the concept is my understanding of this project and a design concept that I want to elaborate. This is raised by me, and my client is very, very much agree
JA : The design is produced and used by other companies. I am only the designer. Relatively speaking, the relationship is relatively simple.
JA : The design that influenced me is an architect. Also my idol Le Corbusier.
JA : The target customer of my design is my client's consumer of his entire project. The general public
JA : “Du·Tea”is the name of the entire project. “Du”(means scale, dimension, limit, breadth, change state)can make people change,it can also change myself.Tea is a tea ceremony. The whole Chinese culture belongs to Confucian culture, so this is a point of tea ceremony thought with Confucian culture.
JA : In the design process we used some design software For example:3D max/SketchUp/VRay/photoshop etc.
JA : In my design case, i like to use some common materials or some attributes to do some different design. Second is the use of lighting
JA : The whole design of the Du·Tea is made by me. The main case design, including creative design, and my team to cooperate with me to achieve this program, and ultimately landed.
JA : We are involved in the entire 3D rendering technology. So on the top of the whole building, at the beginning of the design, there was actually a goldfish swimming on the whole building, but ultimately it was not realized due to the limitation of cost.
JA : At the beginning of the design, we have visited and researched the surrounding area. So we have some data on people traffic, includes data on time-to-day changes in traffic, data including consumer groups. These will affect my design for the moving line as well as the material and lighting design.
JA : The biggest problem is the communication with the construction party, the communication with the material supplier, and the communication with the equipment side during the landing stage. These require their strong cooperation, i can successfully complete such a project.
JA : I hope that the projects I have made will get a better platform to prove whether there will be more people like this design. This is a very important reason for me to participate in such a competition.
JA : The overall process from design to landing of the entire project. What I realized is as an entity entrepreneur,not easy under the current Chinese economic conditions. Let me stand in the perspective of my client,rethinking the various issues surrounding the overall operation of my project.
JA : I am very grateful to the organizers for providing such a fair and open design competition. Can make more new designers like me,able to have a show of their own work,and opportunities to improve myself design capabilities.
